We have stayed in many B&Bs and rate this one among the very best! The house is so nice, and the front porch and yard are so relaxing. The owners, Michelle and Eric, have thought of everything!The breakfasts are out of this world, and the cookies and brownies in the afternoon are delicious. Coffee and tea are always available.

We spent two days in the Holbrook House what a wonderful experience. Rooms were tastefully decorated, attention to details were second to none. Beds were comfortable and the linens were high quality. We felt right at home and the breakfasts were beyond words with homemade baked goods provided during the afternoon tea. Many thanks to Eric and Michelle for making... More

Our stay was great. The location of this B&B is perfect. You can walk everywhere in Bar Harbor's downtown right from the Holbrook House with no problems. The rooms were well-appointed with nice soaps and shampoos, the owners were very helpful, and breakfast the next morning was fantastic. This was my first stay in a B&B, and I'm hooked from... More

It was everything we were looking for; a clean place to rest our heads and get some grub. The only downside is that it is slightly further away from main street than some oer choices. However, we go a clean hotel, friendly hospitality and an economical place to lay our heads for the night. Well worth the couple extra steps... More

May 2011. Many people think that staying at a bed and breakfast is for senior citizens. We are in our 20s and Eric and Michelle made it an excellent stay for any age group. Not only were the accomodations excellent, the best part was breakfast. It kept you full until dinner! Michelle and Eric also gave us great ideas to... More

August 2011, our friends from Atlanta traveled with us in Maine for the first time. The Highlight was staying in Bar Harbor's quaint Bed & Breakfast The Holbrook House. Michelle and Eric Allvin the innkeepers were gracious, friendly, helpful. The breakfasts were wonderful and the accomodations very nice. We highly recommend this B&B and we hope to get back soon!...

We stayed here in October and were welcomed with the most delicious brownies ever. This, of course, heightened our expectations for breakfast, which turned out to be too heavy for all of us. We had two rooms down in a separate cottage, which was quite fun. The one room, however, is very small and there really is nowhere to put... More

The very first time that I saw the beautiful home that is the Holbrook House, I knew we were in for a grand experience. My husband and I first visited Eric and Michelle (the owners) back in May of this year. We fell in love with Bar Harbor and the Holbrook House. I have subsequently made four additional visits to...

A repeat visit to Bar Harbor, we decided to choose a place within walking distance to downtown. We spend three nights at the Holbrook House and couldn't be happier. The room was clean, quiet, comfortable, and all that one needed. The bedding was quite luxurious. We choose to stay in the Rose Room since it was the cheapest, but the... More

Everything was great! Bed was comfortable, atmosphere was welcoming, location was perfect for walking downtown. Most of all, the food was superb! Michelle is a great cook. Looking forward to going back.
